Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Section 13A-12-281 (the Demand Reduction Assessment Act) mandates that every person convicted of a.violation.of any offense defined in §§ 13A-12-202, -203, -204, -211, -212, -213, -215, or -231, Ala.Code 1975, ‘shall be assessed for each such offense an additional penalty fixed at $1,000 for first offenders and $2,000 for second and subsequent offenders.’ (Emphasis added.) ... The fine[ ] in § [ ] 13A-12-281 ... [is] not waivable. [It is] mandatory and jurisdictional, and the failure to impose [it] renders a sentence illegal. ‘Matters 'concerning unauthorized sentences are jurisdictional,’ Hunt v. State, 659 So.2d 998, 999 (Ala.Crim.App.1994), and we may take notice of an illegal sentence at any time. See, e.g., Pender v. State, 740 So.2d 482, 484 (Ala.Crim.App.1999).””

  2. ““[i]f the court determines that the petition is not sufficiently specific, or is precluded, or fails to state a claim, or that no material issue of fact or law exists which would entitle the petitioner to relief under this rule and that no purpose would be served by any further proceedings.””
